christopher575It amazes me that there are any homes with pianos in them in movies. It seems as though the only way to get one moved in is via cranes or pulley systems, and they always fail, sending the piano crashing down.
Office workers with multi-line phones on their desks always have five or so calls on hold.
Karaoke books are always really small and nobody ever has to wait to sing.
People bowling for the first time wear matching shirts with their friends.
Nobody can ever read an important letter; they're just too nervous.
Students always get to sit by their friends in class.
A very troubled class in a school in the ghetto achieves great success with the guidance of a new teacher who is not from the ghetto.

A taxi passenger leaving the cab always seems to have the
exact amount of the fare ready and never has to wait for
change.
In fright films the woman is always alone in the house
and always goes down the basement steps where the
killer is hiding in the shadows.
When the woman runs through the woods to escape her
stalker, she always stumbles, usually more than once.
You might have said these already.

The girl/woman who *dares* be sexual dies first in horror movies, while the virgin lives to tell the tale.
